is there a way to tighten the see-saw motion? it's too loose and doesn't hold it's place very well and i find myself trying to balance the stand?

No, I don't think you can lock the see-saw motion of the top bit - it's based on the weight of your feet to decide the angle that it will be most comfortable for you. You can adjust the height of the footstool only. Hope this helps.

Mines were uneven also, the cause of this is because the holes that are drilled out on the legs are symmetrical on both sides, causing the stand to be somewhat crooked, i just assembled mine and am pissed off, i cant believe they charge the amount for this stand, this stand is worth more like $40 if you ask me.

The saw must be REMOVED before you can fold the stand. I recommend getting rid of the bolts that come with the saw and buy yourself 3 inch pins to pull them up and make the job of detaching the saw from the stand easier.

It's pretty simple to adjust. There is a clamp with a tightener on it. You just have to hold the monitor steady while adjusting the clamp. I don't adjust mine so often, but it is a very well designed stand. Good luck!

I have the same problem but, funny enough, not with the rail itself, which is quite tight on mine, but with the screw that tightens where the rod from the light stand is inserted.

I made a simple 3/4" plywood base for my saw and put a 2x6x10 block underneath it in the middle of the saw screwed to the plywood. Put some 2x2 runners on each outer end of the plywood (so you can have it sit flat). When I use my saw I just put the 2x6x10 block in between the clamps and lock it in place. Good firm placement and use it all day. I suggest getting the Rockwell adjustable tripod stand to support long pieces.

I think you may have assembled it wrong by using some of the wrong hardware. When I assembled and tightened to a firm snug level, they adjust perfectly. I would re-evaluate the pieces you have used

It sounds like you have a unique situation and it's difficult for me to give you a 100% thumbs up/down answer. Our joints are new & unique. They can be operated with 1 hand (you click to release the joint, rotate to the desired setting and click to lock it in place). If the person use the stand in a common location, little adjustment is usually required after the product has been set up correctly. Call/email if there's anything else we can do for you. thanks.

There is a nob that When tightened keeps the saw at what ever height you need it. If you were to loosen it you could probably do a drop cut.

Don,I'VE used this stand to hold 8foot long, 6X6 pressure treated pieces, using a Dewalt Sawzall. It wobbles, but the table vise hold the material. My vexation with the piece is that it was annoying to assemble, it wants to flop out and unfold when you carry it. And, it is not nearly as stable as the earlier models. It is a cheap price for a below average piece.Dave

The clamp on the bottom should be preventing this. Make sure it's locked and tight enough (but not too tight -- it snapped on me and made the stand practically useless).

Not sure why you're having a problem as the slide table can only fit in one way on the rollers and there is very little adjustment for exact alignment. Just make sure you do not have the stop in place until the slide table is on the rollers then you can tighten the stop onto the slide and you should be good to go.Hope this helps and I haven't insulted your mechanical skills, as I can't see your exact problem I'm generalizing.Good luck, Great saw you'll love it once you have it put together.

The instructions are horrible. There are two holes close and two hole further away on the ends of the stand. This is correct. If you attach the wrong side, the other will not align correctly. You probably have the right pieces, just attaching it in the wrong order. The narrow holes legs get attached INSIDE the stand part with the wider holes (the nuts both face inward). So in the end, the left upper and right lower side are narrow hole, the upper right side and lower left side are wide hole. Hope this helps.

My saw stand had a set of off-set brackets to accommodate the Hatachi saw. I don't like it but the other option is to mount the saw on a plywood base and mount the base. Ed

The bottom part is stuck on the track and the middle part you can remove or turn on the stand. No can not tighten it into position but for me it works very well.

Maybey ur missing a screw in the bottom which helps keep it balanced it sounds like a screw broke i had it happen which made it wobble ,check the bottom

The saw cannot be folded WITH the stand attached to it, they need to be separated. I commented on other reviews about me replacing the bolts that attach the saw to the base with pull pins, to make it faster to separate, that helps.
